[edit] Whitney

Please stop creating an article on your friend. This is an encyclopedia, not facebook. Zoe 00:51, August 16, 2005 (UTC)

Your message was in the right place. If you want to practice, you can use Wikipedia:Sandbox, though that gets deleted often, so you can create a personal sandbox at User:JoshMahar/Sandbox (or any other name where "Sandbox" is after your User ID.

[edit] Minor edits

Hi, Josh. In general, a minor edit is one which only corrects a typo or a spelling, or adds a word or two, maybe one (non-controversial) sentence. Anything other than that, and most people would be annoyed to see it listed as a minor edit. Also, it's usually considered friendly if you put something meaningful in the "edit summary" line when you are making other-than-minor edits, to let other people know what you're editing. You can also sign your Talk page posts with four tildes -- ~~~~. This will include a link to your User page and the date and time that you made the comment. Zoe 19:01, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Uzziah-tablet.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Uzziah-tablet.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Dethomas 06:24, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
